Welcome to Barb City Manor

People who visit often describe Barb City Manor as homey, warm, and friendly. Residents are made to feel at home and reminded that their room is their private space, but the whole building is their home.

Barb City Manor's goal is to keep residents independent for as long as possible. This is done through good nutrition with delicious well-balanced meals and recreation through social and physical activity designed for seniors. I hope you find this website a good source of information. You are welcome to contact us if you have further questions.

Barb City Manor has enjoyed a wonderful reputation in the community since Feburary 1979 and we are committed to providing affordable housing to seniors, now and in the future.


Sincerely,

Ellen Tyne
